Wednesday Link List

Coming (out) soon: In the news events of the past month we’ve seen people identify as a different gender and a different race than that they were born with. What’s next? Species? I’ve always felt I identified most strongly with some of the big cats we’d see on our zoo visits. Especially the Bengal Tigers. There’s something there that has always resonated. So yes, I am beginning species reassignment therapy. And starting today, really watch your blog comments, because I scratch. And bite. And I’m really ticked the grocery stores no longer stock Tender Vittles.

Usually I bury the Video of the Week deeper in the list, but I keep playing this new Owl City song over and over. Enjoy listening to My Everything.

True Confessions: Kay Warren says her marriage to Rick didn’t start out so great; “[D]espite having read the latest and greatest Christian advice books on marriage, sex, communication, children and money, we quickly descended into marital hell, arguing hotly and unfairly about each one of those topics.”

A Name You Should Know: After years of teaching on the Hebraic roots of New Testament narratives, Joe Amaral launched a new ministry emphasis with the release of The Story in The Stars. You’ll never look at the sky the same way.

From the YouTube description on a channel I operate sponsored by Searchlight Books:

To the best of my knowledge, the oldest recording in my collection of Contemporary Christian Music, highlighting again that the entire movement traces its oldest roots to Roman Catholic folk masses. This 1969 recording is a translation from Italian where the group, known originally as I Barritas, or The Little Berets, learned the English phonetically. It was originally written in 1964 as Messa de la Pace, and was dedicated to the memory of Martin Luther King.
